Set Apart Aiming Victoriously to Eliminate Diseases

As a disease, the acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome (AIDS) is an epidemic; as a social and political phenomenon, it has profoundly influenced many aspects of contemp-orary life. Since its recognition in 1981, the AIDS epidemic "has been paralleled closely by rapidly expanding literature concerned with many aspects of the disease".

OUR MISSION
